Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown is a writer and film director, Pedro Almodóvar. Women is about an actress, called Pepa, who is in love with a man, Iva n, a womanizer. Pepa is very depressed, and she's added to sleeping pills. Meanwhile, Candela, a friend of Pepa, comes to the apartment because she was unknowingly involved with terrorists. It is a very crazy farce.
I like women because it is a very funny movie. It's hilarious because there are many situations that the characters deal with pocamente realistic. For example, when the police van to the apartment to investigate Pepa, Pepa gives gazpacho with sleeping pills. Pepa drugging the police! That crazy! Also, all characters are very different. A the craziest is Lucia, Ivan's ex-wife. She is very unpleasant, and he hates Pepa. But she is very mad because he always is taking very dramatic makeup and clothes. At the end of film, Lucy is to kill Ivan, but Pepa saves.
I also like the movie because it has many elements and characters. The most famous are Carmen Maura, who pretends to the main character, Pepa, and Antonio Banderas, Carlos pretending , Ivan's son wants to rent the apartment Pepa. All actors play their roads very well. I understand why the film was selected for the Oscar for best foreign film in 1989.
I had never seen another film by Pedro Almodóvar, but I want to see another, especially another farce, because I like women very much.
